Enable Electronic Hookswitch
The Electronic Hookswitch feature enables users to use headsets that electronically connect a wireless headset
to a phone. Typically, the headset requires a base that plugs into the phone and communicates with the headset.
Here are the supported headsets:
• Plantronics Savi 740
• Jabra PRO920
• Jabra PRO9400
• Sennheiser DW Pro1
Only the Cisco IP Phone 6851 Multiplatform Phones support the Electronic Hookswitch feature.
You can also configure the parameters in the phone configuration file with XML(cfg.xml) code.
Before you begin
Access the phone administration web page. See Access the Phone Web Interface, on page 104.
Procedure
Step 1 Select Voice > User.
Step 2 In the Audio Volume section, set the Electronic HookSwitch Control parameter to Yes to enable the feature.
You can configure this parameter in the phone configuration XML file (cfg.xml) by entering a string in this
format:
<Ehook_Enable ua="na">Yes</Ehook_Enable>
Options: Yes and No
Default: No
Step 3 Click Submit All Changes.
Set up a Secure Extension
You can configure an extension to only accept secure calls. If the extension is configured to only accept secure
calls then any calls the extension makes will be secure.
You can also configure the parameters in the phone configuration file with XML(cfg.xml) code.
Before you begin
• Make sure that Secure Call Serv is enabled (set to Yes) in the Supplementary Services area on the
Voice > Phone tab.
